Interobserver reliability of computed tomography-derived primary tumor volume measurement in patients with supraglottic carcinoma
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-06-15)
BACKGROUND Prior studies have determined that macroscopic (“gross”) tumor volume (GTV), as calculated from pretreatment computer tomography (CT), was capable of predicting local control in squamous cell carcinoma arising ...
Conformation of Adjacent Self-expanding Stents: A Cross-Sectional In Vitro Study
(Springer-Verlag; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2006-04)
We examined the proximal conformation of three commonly used self-expanding stents when the stents were deployed adjacent to one another in a tubular model, simulating a “kissing” stent technique. The stent pairs were ...
Genetic variation in human NPY expression affects stress response and emotion
(Nature Publishing Group, 2008-04-24)
Understanding inter- individual differences in stress response requires the explanation of genetic influences at multiple phenotypic levels, including complex behaviours and the metabolic responses of brain regions to ...
